Chapter 13 - Meeting Little Sam

" Wait and see, how will I help you?" Saying Emily made a call to Adrian and asked him to come quickly to the restroom.

…..

…...

As Adrian got the call from Emily, he was worried for her and reached that place immediately. Then he noticed Emily talking to a young lady and a small boy who was looking cute. 

" Is everything fine? " Ardian asked Emily.

" Yup. Fine. I need your help." She said and looked at Little Sam.

" She is Ruby and her nephew. " Emily introduced Ruby to Ardian.

" He is my fiance, Ardian " she introduced Ardian to Ruby.

" Can you take this little boy to the washroom?" Emily asked him.

" What? Me?" Ardian exclaimed.

" You called me for that?" He added.

" Come on. This little boy is looking cute so…" she tried to explain.

" But….this is too much, Emily. I knew you were so kind-hearted but never thought you would ask me to help with this matter…" he said with an irritating look.

" Aunty Ruby... let's call my mommy. Only my mommy will help me" Sam interrupted.

Ardian looked at the boy and instantly his heart attracted with his innocent face. 

" Okay. Little boy. I will help take you to the gent's toilet." saying he held his wrist and took it inside the gent's toilet.

After he peed in the restroom. Little Sam washed his hands in the washbasin and wiped his hands with tissue.

" It seems your mommy is teaching good habits. You look like a good boy " Ardian said to Little Sam.

" But my Mommy says, I am a very naughty sweet little boy of her" he giggled.

" Is it? " Ardian asked him interestingly.

" Yes. But she never scolds me. She loves me so much." Sam answered.

" Yes. Mother's love is selfless. " Ardian said.

" Uncle….What does it mean?" Sam asked.

" Nothing. …." Ardian picked Sam in his arms.

" Uncle….do you notice something common in us?" Sam asked Ardian excitedly.

" What? " Ardian asked.

" Your eyes and my eyes are the same color, ocean blue color," he said.

"Yes...You are right. " Ardian said and both came out of the restroom.

" Thank you so much for the help. " Ruby said to Ardian.

He smiled at her and dropped the little boy carefully on the floor. 

" Thank you so much, Miss. Emily." Ruby said.

" By the way, what is your name?" Ardian asked the little boy.

" My name is Samson," he replied.

" Wowww. It's the name of my father also.." Ardian kissed Little Sam's cheek.

As soon as he touched Sam, he felt so connected with the little boy deeper in his heart. Usually, he doesn't have any interest in talking with kids but he is attracted to this little boy. His pale white skin and gold-brown hair reminded his father.

" Shall we go? I think your mommy will be waiting for us…" Ruby asked Sam.

" Yes, Aunty Ruby. We have to go to Mommy. Or else mommy thinks we are missing and starts crying…" Little Sam informed her.

To his words, all the three people laughed loudly.

" As your mom said, you are  a naughty little one…" Ardian said with a smile.

" Okay. We have to go. Nice to meet you."  Saying Ruby took Sam with her to Katherine.

…..

…..

On the other hand, Katherine was worried about them. She paid the bill and went out to search for Ruby and Sam. 

She tried to make calls many times, but Ruby left her handbag and mobile with Katherine itself.  

While she stood outside the corner of the restaurant, she saw Ardian and Emily descending the stairs. She noticed they both were laughing and talking while walking hand in hand. She felt a sting pain in her heart. 

" It's your fault to leave him. You decide to remain alone. Isn't it?" Katherine's soul questioned her.

" Yes." She answered with her soul.

" Then it's your punishment to see him marrying any woman in front of your eyes.'' her soul laughed at her.

The tears rolled down her cheeks thinking about it but she took this decision for his goodness.

…...

" Mommy…." She heard Sam's voice and wiped her tears with the back of her palms hastily. 

" Are you crying thinking as if we are missing?" Sam asked Katherine. 

" No, dear. Mama is not crying just she is upset as she didn't find you. " Katherine said.

" Shall we return home? " Ruby asked Katherine.

" Hmmm…." Katherine nodded her head.

" I will be back in five minutes" Ruby ran inside the restaurant.

Ruby bought pastries and donuts for Martin as he didn't come to the restaurant with them. Then all of them started to their home in the cab. All the way home, Ruby talked about her new boss and the person who helped Sam to take him to the restroom.

Katherine silently listen to her sister bantering and smiled occasionally. By the time, their reach their home, Sam slept on her lap. Katherine took Sam in her arms and carried them into her bedroom. Ruby paid the cab driver and walked inside.

Meanwhile, Katherine made Sam sleep on the bed and went to take a hot shower. She stood under the shower and closed her eyes.

" Kathie. ...you should be strong like steel. Don't let your emotions rule you. You have to think for your sister, Martin, and especially about your son, Sam. " Her mind reminded her responsibility.

" Yes...I must be strong for my family and my people. It's a waste to think about the person who already forgets her and started his new life." She thought.

After half an hour, she came out of the bathroom wrapping towel around her body. She quickly took her pajamas and wear them. 

" Kathie...any problem…." Ruby asked her.

" Did doctor said anything serious about Martin's treatment? " Ruby asked anxiously.

" Doctor said, there is a new treatment for Martin's leg injury. But it is expensive…" Katherine said.

" No need to worry. Now I too got the job. We both can save money and use it for Martin's treatment. We should not think about the expenses because we can never forget his help and his loss in our life. " Ruby said.

" He is our true friend and our well-wisher " Ruby added.

" Yes ..Ruby.. " Katherine said and hugged Ruby.
